It brings together the complete recorded output of Take Three—fronted by sisters Jackie \u0026amp; Jean Heron and Marlene Richardson from the lovers-rock group Alpha—enhanced with previously unreleased material produced by the S.H.E. trio (Steve Sinclair, Peter Hinds \u0026amp; Kevin Ellis). This compilation spotlights an inventive yet overlooked corner of UK music history: soul and funk emerging from grassroots communities. The creative partnership catalyzed by The Black Theatre Co‑Op led to a unique blend of theatrical soul and underground groove that influenced later acts like Incognito, Light of the World, and Beggar \u0026amp; Co. The album is regularly shared and celebrated on soul and boogie forums, with Reddit users joining in the enthusiasm for this \"80s UK boogie\" revival, noting \"great tune – so much good stuff on the Elite label\" in community discussions. In a nutshell, Music \u0026amp; Time, 1983–1985 is both time capsule and revival: warm, soulful, and deeply rooted in DIY spirit. It’s essential for collectors of British soul, funk, and boogie who appreciate rediscovered gems and well-sequenced compilations with both dancefloor energy and emotional depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"kingslandrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60194279358798,"sku":"5050580829596","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3474\/2094\/files\/e1ea5f_0b7f79b348f142a6a5496838f95ce36b_mv2.png?v=1784735786","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandrecords.com\/products\/take-three-music-times-1983-1985","provider":"Kingsland Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
